Animals: Camel Crossing

Camels are familiar animals in Saudi Arabia but are afforded CERTAIN PRIVILEGES as the only beast of burden that can live in the desert. Every few miles along the Riyadh road, for example, is an interchange with entrance and exit ramps and a bridge over the highway. But the ramps, with signs reading “Desert Access” and “Beware of Camels,” lead nowhere but into the sand dunes. The bridges have been built for the safe crossing of camels and their herders.
